Henry's Wrecker Saves $40,000 per Month in Fuel Costs with TomTom

Henry's Wrecker Service was established in 1972 with a fleet of 12
trucks. Today, Henry's serves the Washington, DC metropolitan area
with more than 200 vehicles and 220 employees in 18 locations.
The company's coverage area ranges from Towson, Maryland in the
north, to the five counties of northern Virginia in the south, and as far
west as Front Royal, Virginia.

Henry's TomTom fleet management system is improving the productivity of both its
dispatchers and its drivers. ‘Our dispatchers are just like air traffic controllers now,’
says Scheler. ‘We quickly integrated our TomTom fleet management system and
our Beacon mapping software so we could show it on two 46-inch flat-screen TVs
in dispatch. You see a dot where the call is and dots where the trucks are. So our
dispatchers can see the closest truck and give the customer an accurate estimate
for arrival. It also means fewer miles traveled to a call, so more productivity for the
drivers. And since they're commissioned, both the driver and the company make
more money.’
